So after yet another hiatus I’m back and better than ever! If you didn’t know already, I’ve been working on another project website. One that is a bit less personal and more gardening related. Now that I’m fairly comfortable with how “The Potted Seed” is turning out, I have had these two sites merged. This blog will be updates on me and my garden while “The Potted Seed” is gardening related articles of a more or less journalistic style.

I’ve been having many great ideas with what I’d like to do with my new website and am far from short on topics to write about. This coming spring I would like a arrange a Sacramento area local farm and garden tour and publish my accounts. One farm/botanic garden that I recently read about, Del Rio Botanic, sounded especially interesting.

I’ve also been interested maybe starting a community garden project here in Folsom after finding out (to my surprise) that Folsom doesn’t have any community gardens. Not a one. It’s a bit depressing, there is plenty of space here for one.

Right now not much is going on with gardening. I’ve cut down my herb containers and will pull the last of my basil out and make one last batch of pesto. For my fall ‘crop’ (which isn’t much of a crop) is a container of beets, swiss chard, carrots, bok choi, and I just sowed a few radishes in an old wine crate.

I’m basically in limbo gardening-wise. It looks like Joe and I will be in the market to buy a home around December so planting anything major in my rental just seems a bit pointless, but the idea of having my own permanent garden has me too excited to care.
